Equip-Link
Based in Shenzhen, the electronics capital of the world, Equip-Link has immediate access to high-purity raw copper, precise plastic injection moldings, and localized plating services. This concentration reduces lead times by up to 40% compared to Western manufacturers.
We provide complete flexibility, including custom pin definitions, Tab-Up/Tab-Down configurations, integrated status LEDs (green/yellow/orange), and proprietary EEPROM coding for optical modules to ensure seamless multi-vendor switch compatibility.
With 36 dedicated quality inspectors and state-of-the-art laboratory testing (High/Low Temp Damp Heat, Insertion Loss, Fiber End-Face inspection), we prevent electrical failures and connection dropouts prior to international cargo dispatch.

Modern AI clusters require low-latency transmission. Our SFP28/QSFP28 transceivers (ranging from 10G to 100G configurations) ensure reliable optical connections, while Mini RJ45 connectors support Out-of-Band (OOB) management and control planes.
Harsh factory environments feature high electromagnetic interference (EMI) and physical vibration. Our SMT-mounted Mini RJ45 jacks with robust metal shielding shield signals from industrial noise, ensuring reliable operation in programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
Small cells and edge enclosures have strict size limits. Using vertical and stackable Mini RJ45 jacks with integrated LEDs helps reduce PCB size, allowing operators to deploy compact outdoor units.
